Today, November 29, 2010 the beginning of a large leak by website wikileaks.com has started, this release contains hundreds of secret and confidential pentagon and diplomat documents, this news is being covered by every largely distributed newspaper and new broadcast. With the reading of these and the previous Iraq war files leaked I just wanted to come on here and state how important it is for us not to ignore international news as it still is relevant to the struggle of blacks in this country as well as all others in diaspora.

I do believe their will be more legal tightening of use of the internet, but I don't believe the government wanted this information to leak, they actually are panicking quite erratically to save face internationally. Making many statements to nations diplomats warning them about this information. In reality a very bold Caucasian brother sacrificed himself to leak this information after he had seen u.s. military torturing afghani citizens while serving in the war on terror. His name is Bradley Manning. Granted im sure hes not doing this specifically for black struggle but his leaking this information can hopefully spark revolution amongst those who lay on the couch and do not organize politically.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has surrendered to police in London in connection with a Swedish sex-crimes investigation.
The 39-year-old Australian was arrested at 9:30 a.m. local time Tuesday and was scheduled to appear at Westminster's Magistrate Court later in the day, The Associated Press reported.
He is accused by Swedish authorities of one count of rape, one count of unlawful coercion and two counts of sexual molestation alleged to have been committed in August 2010, police said.
Assange, the founder of the whistleblowing website that has recently released reams of sensitive U.S. diplomatic cables, has denied the allegations against him. He has not yet been charged.
Mark Stephens, Assange's London-based lawyer, had said earlier that his client was preparing to meet with police.
Stephens has previously criticized Swedish prosecutors' handling of the case, saying his client has never been fully informed of the details of the allegations against him.
The organization's room to manoeuvre is narrowing by the day. It has been battered by web attacks, cut off by internet service providers and is the subject of a criminal investigation in the United States, where officials say the release jeopardized national security and diplomatic efforts around the world.
Kristinn Hrafnsson, a spokesman for WikiLeaks, said Assange's arrest is an attack on media freedom, adding that the arrest won't stop the organization from releasing more documents online.
"This will not change our operation," he told The Associated Press.
Assange has said the documents will be released no matter what happens to him.

LONDON — A broad campaign of cyberattacks appeared to be under way on Wednesday in support of the beleaguered antisecrecy organization WikiLeaks, which has drawn governmental criticism from around the globe for its release of classified American documents and whose founder, Julian Assange, is being held in Britain on accusations of rape.
Attacks were reported on Mastercard.com, which stopped processing donations for WikiLeaks; on the lawyer representing the two Swedish women who have accused Mr. Assange of sexual improprieties; and on PostFinance, the Swiss postal system’s financial arm, which closed Mr. Assange’s account after saying he provided false information by saying that he resided in Switzerland.
At least some of the attacks involved distributed denials of service, in which a site is bombarded by requests from a network of computers until it reaches capacity and, effectively, shuts down.
It was unclear whether the various attacks were independently mounted, but suspicion was immediately focused on Anonymous, a leaderless group of activist hackers that had vowed to wreak revenge on any organization that lined up against WikiLeaks and that claimed responsibility for the Mastercard attack.
The group, which gained notoriety for their cyberattacks on targets as diverse as the Church of Scientology and the rock musician Gene Simmons, released two manifestos over the weekend vowing revenge against enemies of WikiLeaks.
“We fight for the same reasons,” said one. “We want transparency and we counter censorship.”
The manifestos singled out companies like PayPal and Amazon, who had cut off service to WikiLeaks after the organization’s recent release of classified diplomatic documents from a cache of 250,000 it had obtained.
In recent days, Gregg Housh, an activist who has worked on previous Anonymous campaigns, said that a core of 100 or so devout members of the group, supplemented by one or two extremely expert hackers, were likely to do most of the damage. Mr. Housh, who disavows any illegal activity himself, said the reason Anonymous had declared its campaign was amazingly simple. Anonymous believes that “information should be free, and the Internet should be free,” he said,
Mr. Assange was jailed in Britain on Tuesday after being denied bail in a London court hearing on a warrant for his extradition to Sweden to face accusations of sexual offenses. On the courthouse steps, his lawyer, Mark Stephens, told reporters that support shown for Mr. Assange and WikiLeaks so far was “the tip of the iceberg.”
In words that now seem prophetic, he added that the battle for WikiLeaks and its founder’s future was “going to go viral.”

Visa DOWN: WikiLeaks Supporters Take Down Site As 'Payback'
Story is developing: More information to come
Just hours after MasterCard's website was disabled by WikiLeaks supporters, Visa.com is now down as well.
Via its Twitter account (@Anon_Operation), Anonymous, an activist hacker group, claimed responsibility for the denial of service attack--part of "Operation Payback"--that brought down Visa.com.
"TARGET: WWW.VISA.COM :: FIRE FIRE FIRE!!! WEAPONS Warning! | There might be a problem with the requested link ::: SET YOUR LOIC TO irc.anonops.net ::: #DDOS #PAYBACK #WIKILEAKS," Anonymous tweeted. Shortly after it posted a tweet that read, " IT'S DOWN! KEEP FIRING!!! #DDOS #PAYBACK #WIKILEAKS."
Anonymous explains that Operation Payback is "an ongoing campaign by Anonymous against major anti-piracy & anti-freedom entities."
MasterCard and Visa are among many sites that have been targeted--and taken down--by "hacktivists." Websites belonging to Swiss bank PostFinance, Senator Joe Lieberman, PayPal, and Sarah Palin have also been disabled.
Like MasterCard, Visa also announced that it would suspend payments to WikiLeaks, a move that has rankled WikiLeaks supporters.

GORDON DUFF: IN MOTION: THE PLOT TO DESTROY THE UNITED STATES
"Israel has decided that America is going to war with Iran. The new congress, the one Israel openly boasts is under their total control, will make it happen, it was why they were put there. The upcoming war will leave the United States crippled, castrated, a “third world” nuclear power like the old Soviet Union. The plot isn’t against Iran and Pakistan, that’s just an excuse. The real enemy is what is left of a free and democratic America. The real goal is to end America’s leadership role in the world. Israel has plans for Russia, China and India, especially India, to rule the world with them pulling the strings. America had been their “milk cow” for some time, now that cow is going to slaughter.
HOW IT BEGINS
This is how it is going to play out. The news media has gotten their orders, Wikileaks is part of it. From now on, key members of congress will, on cue, begin harping about the threat of Iran. Governments in the Middle East that are under the total control of Israel and the American military will aid in every way possible. Thus far, of all the Islamic nations in the world, only Syria and Afghanistan are not taking orders from Tel Aviv." More.....
